This article addresses psychological assessment in the context of personality disorders, integrated with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The objective is to demonstrate how the evaluation of dysfunctional personality traits can aid in identifying cognitive and behavioral patterns, enabling more effective therapeutic interventions. The methodology was based on a bibliographic review of studies on psychological assessment and CBT, focusing on disorders such as Borderline Personality Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder. The theoretical framework emphasizes the importance of CBT in restructuring negative cognitive schemas and the application of psychometric instruments for assessment. The main findings indicate that integrating psychological assessment with CBT is effective in treating personality disorders, promoting significant changes in patients' behavioral and emotional patterns. It is concluded that detailed psychological assessment, combined with cognitive interventions, is a robust approach for managing personality disorders, with the potential to foster lasting improvements in individuals' psychological well-being.
